So far Symantec didn’t publish any press announcement about the deal, limitating to an announcement at his conference ManageFusion 2008.

Now the company has a complete and powerful application virtualization solution able to compete with Microsoft Application Virtualization (formerly SoftGrid) or the upcoming VMware/Thinstall solution.
It’s yet to be seen how the security giant will go on the market with it. The steps taken so far are not exactly clear.
